Sketches: Schroeder House Museum

This project had two phases:
  1. Use Modernist design principles to create a building similar to Rietveld's Schroeder House.
  2. Integrating Mies' philosophy of dignified use of modern materials, design a museum to house the Schroeder House.
These sketches are mostly from the conceptual phases.
